The Progeny

I'm a fan of Tosca Lee's books. She writes amazing stories and I don't even have to know the synopsis of her new books because I'm sure I'm going to love it anyway. But when I read the synopsis for [b:The Progeny 27221614 The Progeny (Descendants of the Blood Countess #1) Tosca Lee https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1450632253s/27221614.jpg 47828389], it just blown my mind. It sounded very different from her previous works, so I had very high expectations for this book.

The beginning was a bit slow, but once the story continued, it was absolutely fast! I think the way it started made perfect sense because it helped me to understand the characters and what they were going through.

This book is an authentic thriller. Tosca Lee has written and unstoppable story and you can't even try to guess what's going to happen next because it's full of twists.

I love female protagonists who are brave and are not crying in very page, so Emily was such a great character to read. She surprised me with her complex personality and unusual gifts. The setting is also great. While reading, in my mind was like a movie full of vivid colors and wonderful characters.

The ending left me gasping and looking for the next page, so I'm more than excited to read the next book in this series and I really REALLY hope not have to wait for a long time.

-I recieved a copy from the publisher via Netgalley for this review, but this fact didn't influence the review-

I don't know what this is about, but it's Tosca's book, so I'M EXCITED!!

Updated after reading the title and the synopsis:

“...Most notorious female serial killer of all time”

Ok Tosca, you got me!

NOOOOOO this book ends on one HELL of a cliffhanger. I want to cry because I don't think the next book in the series is out until next year...



This book was SO frigging good. Descendants of Elizabeth Bathory the Blood Queen being hunted by descendants of her supposed victims. Secret societies, paranormal elements, and twist and turns galore. We are thrown into the action from the get go, and it just never lets up. Who to believe, who to trust. This book read like a Dan Brown novel. Beautifully written, fast paced, and with wonderful characters that I REALLY can't wait to read more about.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY need book two NOW!
